The lack of postings over the last several weeks sh0uld serve as a good indicator that things are going well. I am fully recovered from the fall and I am feeling great. I will go in for another CT scan this coming Tuesday and we are hoping that it will yield a good result. I am still working with the
Afib problem, but it seems to be much better now. I don't know if I mentioned it in previous posts, but I have also been diagnosed with diabetes so I am taking insulin.
I have gone back to work and have been doing some traveling. Other than some fatigue I have been getting along just fine.
With my health problems pretty much under control I will have to find other things to talk about. Politics seems like a good place to start. Now that Obama has the Demo side wrapped up we'll begin the real race. I have misgivings about both candidates. How do you feel?

Why Am I Doing This?
Welcome to my blog. This is a bit of an experiment to become better acquainted with the cyber world. My main purpose for this blog is to give my family, friends and many acquaintances an opportunity to keep up with what is going on in my life and hopefully with return comments I will be able to keep up with what is going on in your life as well. As this experiment continues I will probably branch out into other things, such as opinions, since I have one on just about every subject. However, I hope to avoid unnecessary conflict so will try to be prudent in the opinions I post. However, if I post an opinion that you disagree with then it would enhance the enjoyment of doing this blog if you would post your objections and elucidate your own point of view.

Hi Daddy,
I wrote a whole long reply last night only to be kicked off because it did not remember me. Soooo.....I'm sending this short one and then I'll write the longer one again.
love, Jeanine
Wow! I wonder how that worked. Last night it gave me fits.
Anyway, I was glad to see your new post. I check almost every morning and evening and it was nice to find something. Also, I'm very glad you are doing so well.
As far as politics go - I am very glad that the field has been narrowed to two. Now we can try to ferret out the truth about these two.
For Obama I'm excited to see if he can add substance to his message of hope. I also look forward to his vitality and his youthful optimism.
For McCain I'm glad to have someone in the race who does not appear to be afraid to call a kettle black. I'm also excited to see if he really is capable of wisely walking the line between good democratic and good republican policies.
For Obama I'm worried that his dreams are based more on untarnished enthusiasm than on practical realities of life. He reminds me of an excellent professional conference from which you learn lots, get all excited, and then nothing changes because life is hard and it is easy to see possibilies, but not easy to implement them.
For McCain I worry that he will be so abrasive that people will not listen to him. I also worry because I don't have a feeling for why he wants to be president. I'm not sure what he wants to accomplish.
Most of all I really wish we could trust what we read about the candidates. I wish the Obama camp would stop called McCain Bush and I wish the media would stop calling Obama Kennedy. I hope we will get the chance to know each candidate for who they really are.
Anyway, that is what I think.
Love, Jeanine
(P.S. You can see why I was bummed when my message dissappeared!)
Hi Grandpa,
I'm so glad you're feeling better! I am not sure which candidate I like better for president. Obama seems a lot more inspiring and a lot different from any candidate in my memory, but when he actually gets into the policies he recommends I'm not sure how happy I'd be if he managed to create the change he envisions. I do think the world would like the US better if we elected him.
As for McCain, I've met him a couple times, so I'm a little biased probably, but in person he is amazingly intelligent. He can answer really difficult questions without batting an eye. Unfortuately he also completely dodged a question about education reform which pretty much made me doubt him completely. I think he'd probably resolve the war in the better way between the two of them, but I worry what he'd do with the rest of the issues!
This is a fun change of subject!
Love,
Sarah
Hey Daddy,
I wish I could wax eloquent on my views of the two candidates, but I really can't.
My overarching feeling toward this election is aprehension. We are in such dire straights that it feels like we are so fragile that a wrong choice at this point could do us in.
Which is the right choice? The crystal ball is very, very cloudy.
Love ya Dad!
